In deeper love with Glee’s version of Teenage Dream! I’ve been loving Katy Perry’s version all along before I came across Glee’s version!
Anyways, December is a busy month as always. Everyone’s rushing for everything. I’m no longer feeling the heat. It feels good to be in my comfort zone. Like finally! Schedule is a tiny bit better than previous. I’m starting back to normal office hours next year. What a way to start the new year? I’m ecstatic about it!
Not that I’m going there any time soon but I’m targeting to visit the land of the rising sun during autumn, September or October next year. I’ve been doing a bit of surveying on flight tickets and also on DisneySea. I’m not worrying much on accommodation, all thanks to Aunt Wati! Below are just some of the places I hope to visit.
Tokyo Tower
How can you not visit the Tokyo Tower when you’re in Tokyo? My reason – just because it’s so famous!
Tokyo Dome
Concert or no concert, I hope to at least be able to set foot in Tokyo Dome. My reason – for personal satisfaction!
Tokyo Dome City
I didn’t even know the Tokyo Dome City exist and Tokyo Dome is in this city. What’s more? There’s a theme park too! So it’s like killing two birds with a stone, yes? My reason – oh well, you all should know already!
Yasukuni Shrine
Not that I have any interest or fascination on Shinto but I find it nice in pictures posted in their website. Thankfully it is in English. My reason – looks good for photography.
Rainbow Bridge
Interesting. Really interesting. My reason – photography, of course! I hope it’ll look as pretty as in this picture!
Daikanransha
Our Singapore Flyer is such a bore and I hope this one not. My reason – another one good for photography.
Senso-ji
I’ve seen this temple gate loads of times in doramas especially in Tiger & Dragon! The giant lantern is recognizable. My reason – a must visit and this ‘I’ve been there’ satisfaction. Hehe!
Toshimaen Amusement Park
How many theme park we have in Singapore? One and the ‘bestest’ ride has been closed for months! My reason – adrenalin rush!
Shinjuku Suehirotei
This should be the correct rakugo theater they filmed for Tiger & Dragon if I’m not mistaken. By the way, Tiger & Dragon is one of my favourite dorama. Watch the video below.
So there you go. Not much places as I don’t want to be too ambitious. Good night!

This is officially a ranting post. I’m going to rant all my dissatisfaction here. I don’t care. I know its not good and all but I don’t care. I’m really acting like a cranky granny today! Grr! Firstly, lack of sleep. Secondly, it’s raining outside on a Sunday morning – almost everyone’s sound asleep but I’m sitting uncomfortably in a chair, alone and pouting in the office. There’s really no life working at night! I don’t hate it. Actually, I’m starting to since I’m almost into my fourth week.
I sleep the moment I reach home and wake up only late afternoon where I have to get ready for work. Same routine for the second worknight but the difference is, I’ll be sleeping on my off-day. By the time I wake up, it’s afternoon again. I don’t go out since it’s already late. The sad part, I’m only sleepy after sunrise. I’ll end up with a headache if I force myself to sleep. So by the time I’m asleep, its on my rest-day. The routine goes on and on. You won’t get it.
Thankfully they are finally doing away with the night shift. I’m so happy about it! One week left and I will be back doing my normal office hours. I hope the transition won’t cause me to have pimples popping like mad again since it will be a Hari Raya month! I’m worried sick. I don’t want to rely on pills to get myself to fall asleep. Ok, now I need my orange juice.
*sighing* It’s September already. Sure, time wait for no man. Well, I’m in the third week of my 24 hours shift and is starting to get sick of it. Two weeks of night shift is bearable but not longer than that. I’m turning into a cranky old grandmother! Mom complained about me being sensitive on everything while we were out earlier today.
There are a few things that needs refurbishing at home. We just replaced the carpets in the living room and dining area today. And the sofa can’t wait any longer too. Just as I planned to get a new set, our Samsung LCD TV decided to fail as well. With the car insurance and road tax payment due soon, everything needs money!
Haha! It’s so funny when I think about it. Hari Raya is inches away and as usual – I AM SO LAZY! If I were to have it my way, I want to use the holiday to sleep in. Mom is starting to do the goodies. I’ll bake cookies on the one and only time to enjoy my off days which is on both Thursday and Friday. I very much think I will.
Work is hectic as usual. Its crazy every day till I hate to face the PC/laptop. I hardly touch the PC at home too. I’m in my second week of night shift and still have a week more before going back to day shift. I had a major breakout due to the transition of working from day to night. The pimples are gone but the spots are still horribly visible.
I’m planning to go on a much needed break cum relaxing holiday soon. Trip to Sepang, Malaysia in October for the MotoGP won’t be considered one since it’s a two days-one night ’stop-go’ trip. The uncle is organizing a holiday to Tioman Island next February. Snorkelling, island hopping and indulging on the seafood with the family members.
Plans, with the brother, for a holiday at Cebu next March is cancelled due to the recent shooting incident in the Philippines. Two incidents, actually. We thought it would be better to be safe than sorry. I do pity my Filipino colleagues who were saddened by the news. Still for me, I think it could have happened to anyone, anywhere.
I suddenly thought of visiting my aunt in Tokyo. I’ve been wanting to go there but couldn’t due to financial commitment for the car. Thank god I’m able to loosen my belt a little finally. I’m thinking of going somewhere in the second half of next year. It is an expensive place, thus the longer period needed to save a little bit more.

Not! I bought her another bracelet. A gold-plated one with Korean crystals from Helen, one of my all-time favourite accessories store. It’s her second bracelet. I usually bought brooches from the same store but since there were no new designs, I bought bracelets instead. She loved it as usual.
It has been a year since I said my goodbyes to Geocities. I’m still emotional about it. The reason why I was so attached to it? Well, mostly because I spent so many hours squeezing my brains out to create the site. I admit it wasn’t at all fantastic, but still, I was so proud of it.
I have to be on standby for the World Cup finals. Will be watching the match at work.
